Packaway Multipurpose Storage Boxes ~ Try Them Out!

I have recently been sent 2 Packaways Multipurpose Storage Boxes to try out and review.

 

These definitely came at the right time.  We are expecting our second child in a few months and have started to process of organizing, pulling stuff out of storage and finding new places for new things.  The Packaways are the perfect solution.  They are so easy to use and actually set up automatically.  All you do is unfold them and simply press the bottom down to engage the locking tab and you have an instant storage box.  The nice thing to is that there are indented lines where the folds should be and bendable corners so closing the box is a breeze, not tape needed!  It is so nice not having to tear off a huge strip of tape everytime we need to open the boxes.  We have been re-using them and of course I keep thinking of things I need to add to them.  When they are not is use the fold up nice and thin.

Footminder Orthotics ~ Try Them Out

I am very excited to be working with a company like Footminders who is focused on our health and comfort. Three years ago I gave birth to my first son and had that all to common “my foot grew” pregnancy symptom.  Well turns out it wasn’t a symptom that went away after delivery.   My foot didn’t actually grow it just happen that I lost my arch due to a loosening ligament from those pregnancy hormones.  Well after losing my arch I started to develop hip and back pain which results in snapping hip syndrome.  It has been a battle to find shoes with ample arch support that didn’t cost a fortune.

Saving Money: Make Homemade Pancakes and Freeze Them

Due to the popularity of my recent post: Saving Money: Make Homemade Garlic Bread and Freeze it, I have decided to start sharing my other homemade recipes and ways you can save money on your grocery bill and your health.  Buying frozen foods like pancakes and waffles is a waste of money, you are simply paying for convenience and something that has added preservatives.  Some may argue that making your own pancakes and waffles take to much 'time' and that frozen products take away the daily hassle of cooking for those with busy mornings.  Well I'm here to tell you that making homemade pancakes takes no time at all and in one morning you can prepare a huge batch, freeze them and create your own frozen pancakes you can quickly grab out of the freezer any day of the week, just like the store bought ones.  By doing so you will know what your family is eating, control what goes into them and you will reduce waste by not constantly purchasing those cardboard boxes!  Also, if you have young children you can create fun shapes and sizes.  My son loves when I make Mickey Mouse pancakes and my attempt at dinosaur pancakes.  So here we go with a couple different ways to make homemade pancakes.

Getting Your Small Business Credit

Are you a small business owner looking to expand and grow? One of the best ways to help expand your business is to hold your own line of small business credit.  Building your own line of business credit will allow you to easily make the purchases you need to help maintain and run a successful business.  Another big benefit of holding your own line of business credit is that it can save you from the disasters of using cash, travelers’ checks or using your personal credit.  Using these other types of payments can cause you a major headache when it comes to balancing your finances, tracking your purchases and of course your precious time.  If you have staff members that do your purchasing it will allow them the freedom to do so without the need to constantly ask for cash or your personal card.  Other great benefits of a business credit card are reduced paperwork and time spent reconciling accounts.  Unlike cash, you will need to make sure balances are paid on time to prevent unneeded late charges.  Most likely there are many great benefits for you and your business if you use your credit wisely and not abuse it.

Saving Money: Make Homemade Garlic Bread and Freeze It

There are so many different ways to save money on your grocery bill. Most of them include making homemade foods you would usually buy at the store in a box.  If you are spending money on pre made garlic breads you are really throwing away your extra dollars on convenience.  Here is a very easy, quick homemade garlic bread recipe I use for my family.  I came up with this because I was tired of spending so much money on a package of 6 garlic bread pieces. I can use a whole loaf of bread and have garlic bread stored in the freezer for multiple meals. Also, I actually have a dairy allergy and cannot even eat the the store bought garlic breads anymore.  So here is my families delicious garlic bread recipe.

Ingredients:
1 cup butter (if you have a dairy allergy be sure to use a dairy/lactose free butter).
5 cloves of garlic (minced)
a couple shakes of garlic salt
1 loaf of Italian or French bread
Cooking spray

Supplies:
Pan
Spoon
Knife
baking pan
parchment paper
plastic zip bags

Recipe:
Step 1:
Mince your garlic (or use pre-minced garlic) add to pan with butter and garlic salt.  Slowly simmer until butter melts.

Step 2:
While the butter is melting slice your bread and place pieces on your lightly sprayed baking sheet.

Step 3:

Use a spoon to pour melted butter and garlic mixture over each piece of bread (if you are baking more than you need for dinner or to use in the future, wrap pieces in the parchment paper and place in zip lock baggies and place in freezer.  Just reheat in the oven).

Step 4:

Place baking sheet under the broiler for 3-5 mins or until edges are browned and crisp.

Step 5:
Enjoy fresh out of the broiler. Pair with your favorite dinner!

The Golden Gate Bridge was made with Hex Cap Screws and how many stainless bolts?

Can you believe that on May 27 the Golden Gate Bridge will turn 75. For years the bridge has been an iconic image of the Bay Area, were many visitors flock to see its beauty. Did you know that  when it was proposed in 1916 it met fierce resistance from a a variety of sources including the Department of War, the Southern Pacific Railroad and ferry union workers. Luckily, six counties decided to foot the $35 million cost, an astronomical sum during the Great Depression, to build the world's longest suspension bridge at the time.  Hex Cap Screws are high strength fasteners for bridge, highway, power water treatments and marine construction.  There were approximately 600,000 bolts used in each tower of the Golden Gate Bridge.  Like our many other components, such as hex head structural bolts, anchor bolts and hex coupling nuts, hex cap screws are made of the highest quality materials including stainless steel and zinc. In addition to high stress endurance and high strength, by their very design, hex cap screws are meant to maintain tighter tolerances.  Hex cap screws are defined by their hexagonal head and closer reflect bolts in appearance rather than common screws.  These fasteners are frequently used in industrial and large scale structural applications such as bridge building, as well as for common wood construction.   Whether custom or off-the-shelf, Baco Enterprises have your fastener solutions with fast delivery service.

Ways to Protect Yourself Against Debit Card Dangers

I found this great article on ways to protect yourself against all those debit card dangers we hear about.  So here it goes and remember stay vigilant and always monitor your money!

5 ways to protect yourself against debit card dangers…

• Save receipts to check against your monthly statement.   Make sure all the charges are correct and there are no errors on the statement or any unauthorized charges.

• Don’t use a PIN that is too obvious, like your date of birth or 1234, and change it regularly.

• Sign up for online banking if you haven’t yet so that you can check your account often.

• Reduce your risk of ATM “skimming”, in which a device electronically swipes your data and PIN.  Use machines at banks rather than in convenience stores, airports, gas stations, or any isolated location, which can be riskier.

• Use your debit card to make purchases only with trusted merchants, and don’t give your card number to anyone you don’t know over the phone or by e-mail.
